The Adventure Company announced their latest new adventure game. Here's their press release:

The Adventure Company (a division of DreamCatcher Interactive) today announced that Arthur's Knights II: The Secret of Merlin is now shipping. Return to the exciting, romantic and dangerous Arthurian world of chivalrous deeds and treacherous hearts, when honor was worth dying for, to an age where Christianity and pagan gods coexist in a harmony of beliefs. Gamers can continue on their trek seeking knighthood and chivalry with the legendary Arthur and his companions!

If being knighted is what players have dreamed of, then this is gamer heaven! Like in the original Arthur's Knights II, players can decide to play Bradwen, the Paladin Knight, or Bradwen, the Celtic Knight, on their way through the lands of Arden and Avalon to discover the tasks necessary to undo the curse placed on his people of Artrebates. The player's character choice determines which of the two different games, set in similar surroundings, the gamer experiences.

The gameplay offers exceptional depth. The game's creators utilized an Arthurian encyclopedia to describe places, people and myths that showcase the reality of life in 6th century England. In Arthur's Knights II, fantasy and history, good and evil, God and the Celtic goddesses, chivalry and faerie ultimately meet and intertwine.

Arthur's Knights II: The Secret of Merlin features a range of technological enhancements, including greater interactivity, enchanting graphics, a dynamic map and flash-backs, which all combine to provide dozens of playing hours in the awe-inspiring world of the Arthurian legend.

"We are pleased to add Arthur's Knights II to our repertoire of adventure titles," said Richard Wah Kan, CEO of DreamCatcher and The Adventure Company. "We continue to strive to meet our customers' needs by providing challenging and entertaining games for players of all ages."

Arthur's Knights II will be widely available fro a MRP/SRP of $19.99.
